چکیده

Coexpression of di-alpha-globin and beta-globin in Escherichia coli in the presence of exogenous heme yielded high levels of soluble, functional recombinant human hemoglobin (rHb1.1). High-level expression of rHb1.1 provides a good model for measuring mistranslation in heterologous proteins. rHb1.1 does not contain isoleucine; therefore, any isoleucine present could be attributed to mistranslation, most likely mistranslation of one or more of the 200 codons that differ from an isoleucine codon by 1 bp. Sensitive amino acid analysis of highly purified rHb1.1 typically revealed < or = 0.2 mol of isoleucine per mol of hemoglobin. This corresponds to a translation error rate of < or = 0.001, which is not different from typical translation error rates found for E. coli proteins. Two different expression systems that resulted in accumulation of globin proteins to levels equivalent to approximately 20% of the level of E. coli soluble proteins also resulted in equivalent translational fidelity.

CONSTRUCTION OF RECOMBINANT PLASMIDS FOR PERIPLASMIC EXPRESSION OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE IN ESCHERICHIA COLI UNDER T7 AND LAC PROMOTERS

In order to study the periplasmic expression of human growth hormone (hGH) in Escherichia coli, the related cDNA was inserted in two expression plasmids carrying pelB signal peptide, one with lac bacterial promoter and the other with a bacteriophage T7-based promoter. The recombinant plasmids were moved to TG1 and BL21 strains of E. coli, respectively. To induce the expression systems, IPTG and...

The Over-Expression of Biologically Active Human Growth Hormone in a T5-Based System in Escherichia coli, Studying Temperature Effect

We studied the expression of human growth hormone (hGH) in E. coli under a bacteriophage T5-base promoter in a pQE30 expression vector. For an efficient expression of hGH cDNA, a number of codons at the hGH N-terminal coding region were altered based on the E. coli major codons. An over-expression of hGH in the bacteria, carrying the recombinant plasmids, was observed at 37°C in the presence of...
